COMMENT I don't understand the strategy for fighting. How do they know when to pull out? How do they avoid the rocket launcher and still keep shooting (without giving away positions)? Does anyone ever play dead, or is it safer to retreat? Without knowing some of that, it sort of doesn't make sense. All that noise would be enough to scare anyone not serious about fighting. I'm scared of even the nail gun, so I'd probably die of fright facing the real thing. What these guys do to defend their country is amazing. SAA & Hezbollah prevailed.

Even though I can only make out names in the verse, I find this extraordinarily moving. Mind-blowing link to history & the unity of the participants is amazing, especially considering that the events commemorated happened hundreds of years ago. Hopefully, my understanding and summary is accurate.
